Winehouse promises new album

Island’s co-president Darcus Beese has said that Winehouse has been writing and recording "in fits and starts" on the follow-up to her last album Back To Black. That album was released three years ago and clocked up sales of over 10 million copies. It also scooped five Grammy Awards.
In recent times Winehouse has been plagued by drug and health problems, and a series gigs scheduled for last May were cancelled. But while living on the Caribbean island of St Lucia, the controversial artist has been writing and recording with producer Salaam Remi, who was also involved in Back To Black.
